Neighbours of Asdrit Kapaj (pictured burgling a home in a CCTV image) said he was a 'true gentleman' and a 'pillar of the community', after he was revealed as the Wimbledon Prowler. A claimed refugee who had apparently fled the horrors of the Kosovan war, he had, in the two decades since arriving in the UK, devoted his time and much effort to running his takeaway restaurant and bringing up his young family. But in London they know him as The Wimbledon Prowler - an 'evil' man who for the past ten years has terrorised this affluent corner of south-west London.

CCTV footage (pictured) shows Easter Sunday bomber Inshaf Ibrahim (inset) shuffling back and forth before detonating his suicide vest at the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka. At the same time, his brother Ilham Ibrahim walked into the luxury Shangri-La hotel and blew himself up as guests were having breakfast.

Abdul Lathief Jameel Mohamed failed to detonate his suicide vest at the luxury Taj Samudra hotel (left) during the co-ordinated attacks across Sri Lanka. It instead malfunctioned and went off at a small guest house - the tony single-storey New Tropical Inn guesthouse (right) in the suburb of Dehiwala - sparing dozens of lives. Security experts say Mohamed may have been radicalised at a British university. He is believed to have studied in the southeast of England at some point between 2006 and 2007.

FEMAIL has revealed the science behind the new and improved battle of sexes. A study by the University of Tromso in Norway found although women were more likely to read instructions for flatpack furniture (top left), men were at least one minute faster at getting the job done. Scientists also found that women are better at remembering faces (middle left) and researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University found women suffer worse hangovers (bottom left). When it comes to driving (top right) women are safer but men can park quicker but in the garden (middle right) one study found women to be almost 20 per cent faster and more accurate than the men. Men were also found to have more bacteria on their work spaces (bottom right) than female colleagues.

Kim and Putin (pictured) met for their summit in the Russian city of Vladivostok, where Kim is likely to seek support from the Russian leader as nuclear talks between North Korea and the U.S. hang in limbo. The summit reflects Russia's effort to position itself as an essential player in the North Korean nuclear standoff. Kim's first trip to Russia comes about two months after his second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, which failed because of disputes over U.S.-led sanctions on the North. Kim was presented with bread (top right) on his arrival.

John William King, 44, was pronounced dead at 7.08pm local time on Wednesday in Huntsville, Texas. The execution was set for 6pm, but was delayed approximately 40 minutes while officials awaited a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court refused a last-day appeal from condemned Texas inmate John William King, clearing the way for his execution for the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. nearly 21 years ago.

JANET STREET-PORTER: Diane Abbott, Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, has been photographed sneakily drinking a canned M&S; Mojito on a London train the other Saturday at 1pm. Drinking and anti-social behaviour was banned on Transport for London buses and trains in 2008 and is punishable by a fine. Ms Abbott is hardly a shrinking violet, and can be heard on radio and television and on social media almost every day pontificating about law and order and miscarriages of justice. She's brilliant at patronising waffle, usually reeling off some dodgy facts and figures (a command of detail has never been her forte). But Diane is a passionate politician, a big buddy and former lover of Jeremy Corbyn, who has managed to survive many a faux pas where other lefties who stray from the party line have been relegated to the back benches and media oblivion.

A promising teenage tennis player who kicked a 61-year-old drug addict out of his home has been jailed for three years with two others over a 'cuckooing' operation. Douglas Dallas Foster was 'moved out' of his flat and deprived of his keys by Manchester drug-peddling trio Akeen Fatinikun, Nemiah Fletchman (centre) and Cade Steven Higson, all 19-years-old, who wanted to deal crack and heroin from Foster's home in Carlise. Fletchman (left playing tennis) had been studying at university and held a promising tennis career, and at the age of just 16, had been able to serve at 120mph. Fletchman (right on court) had been dubbed as a 'promising star' back in 2016 and previously won the prestigious Didsbury Men's Open in Manchester and the Winter Regional Tour.

The former Shadow Home Secretary made the explosive announcement yesterday that she would stand for the pro-Leave Brexit Party, rather than her own. Hours later, she received a letter from the party telling her that her membership would be cancelled and she would be expelled. 'All party members are expected to fully support the party in all elections, and your candidacy for another political party is obviously in contention with this principal [sic] of membership and the rules above,' it said. Miss Widdecombe told the Mail: 'I was standing for the Brexit Party, so it was implicit that I was going. It's a rule, so I knew it was coming.

Kieran Robinson, five, and cousin Rita, six, (together left and with family inset) who live on a farm in Yorkshire, were tasked with getting from the Imperial War Museum to the London Eye with no adults for new ITV show Planet Child. The show looks at how much freedom British children have compared to youngsters in other countries and whether they could benefit from more. While the cousins did get distracted by the play park at first, they soon made it onto a London bus (top right and Keiran inspecting the map bottom right) and to the famous landmark. Other children in the show included twins Darcee and Judah, seven, from Horsham, West Sussex, who also did the bus experiment and worked amazingly well together.

Helen Doble (left), 59, was first on the scene after the former Crimewatch presenter (right) was killed by an unknown gunman outside her west London home on April 26, 1999. And has now spoken of the trauma of seeing her friend, who had been hoping to start a family, dead on her Fulham doorstep aged 37. Ms Doble, who lived just two streets away from Dando, immediately called 999 but struggled through tears to inform authorities what had happened. She feared the calls were from Alan Farthing (pictured inset with Dando), a consultant gynaecologist the television presenter had been due to marry just five months after she was murdered. Ms Doble's interview comes on the eve of 20th anniversary of the murder. And as friends of the murdered television presenter gathered to mark the death.

NEW Two women and five men were seen glued to the doors of the financial institution and to each other in central London this morning. Another five men and a woman have also been seen glued to a second entrance. The climate change activists voluntarily offered to end their near two-week campaign to bring the capital to a halt in the name of the environment. At 5pm today they are promising a 'closing ceremony' at Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.

Over the past year, groups dedicated to home organisation, cleaning and decluttering have flooded social media sites around the world. And as they've grown in popularity, thousands of perfectionist Australians have gathered together to show off their own impressive organising tricks and home transformations. To highlight their favourite spaces, Australian mums recently shared the 'most organised parts' of their homes in popular Facebook group Mums Who Organise - with impressive results.

Kirsten Kinch (pictured inset) was travelling to Iceland for three days with her family on December 27, last year, when she left her dog Nova at P&E; Boarding Kennels and Cattery in Dublin, Ireland. Nova (left) had an ongoing issue with colitis which was being successfully treated with steroids the months prior to her death and had been checked by a vet before boarding. Yet when Ms Kinch went to collect her beloved dog on December 31, she was informed Nova had passed away. Ms Kinch was then taken to see her 25kg husky who, to her horror, had been put in a black bag and wrapped up in duct tape (right).

JoAnn Cunningham, 36, and Andrew Freund Sr, 60, told police last Thursday that AJ Freund (left) mysteriously vanished from their home in Crystal Lake, Illinois, after he went to bed the night before. The parents (inset in their mugshots) have now been hit with multiple counts including first-degree murder and battery after they helped lead police to the boy's remains in a field (right) at the rural Hennen Conservation Area in Woodstock, Crystal Lake Police Chief James Black announced at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. Records show that child protective services had visited AJ's home on 17 occasions since his birth in 2013.

Veteran Hollywood journalist Craig Bennett certainly doesn't hold anything back in his new tell-all book, True Confessions of a Shameless Gossip. The Australian TV personality discusses the many celebrities he's encountered over the years in his memoir - and one stands out for all the wrong reasons. According to Craig, late actor Mickey Rooney (right and left, with Judy Garland) was an absolute nightmare, with the veteran reporter describing him as 'curmudgeonly'. In addition to his 'abrasive' and 'blisteringly bombastic' personality, Mickey also apparently look liberties with aspiring performers. He is said to have regularly lined up 'auditions' with young actresses 'for roles that didn't exist'. As Craig puts it, 'Mickey almost wore out the casting couch'.

Sarah Buckley Friedberg, 35, from Needham, Massachusetts, wrote about the impossible standards moms are expected to meet in a lengthy Facebook rant. The mother-of-three started her post by pointing out that women have to return to work just six to eight weeks after giving birth. She noted that society tells mothers they must excel at their careers, lose the baby weight, and have date nights with their husbands, among other things. The post has been shared more than 30,000 times since it was posted on April 18, and thousands of commenters have praised her for her honesty.

Mujtaba al-Sweikat (right), then 17, was arrested at the King Fahd International Airport while on his way to the Western Michigan University. In 2017, staff at the university said the English language and pre-finance studies student showed 'great promise' and called for him to be released. Abdulkarim al-Hawaj (left), 21, was also beheaded in public four years after being arrested on his way home from work in the country's Shia-majority Eastern province. Under international law, putting to death anyone who was under 18 at the time of the crime is strictly prohibited.

Instagram playboy Dan Bilzerian was criticized on Wednesday for feeding a captive brown bear (pictured) at a house party in los Angeles. The poker player, 38, shared the video of himself surrounded by scantily clad women hand-feeding the Kodiak bear, the largest breed of brown bear, which can reach up to 1,500lbs when fully mature. The video went viral, amassing 15 million views and tens of thousands of comments. The stunt, which took place during his 4/20 celebration, has been condemned by animal rights charity PETA, which sent letters to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the L.A. Department of Animal Services.

Australian travel blogger Hayley Andersen has been sharing dreamy postcard-like snapshots from various idyllic locations around the world. And while her scrumptious Instagram feed reveals her picture-perfect photographs, Hayley has picked up some handy packing trick after exploring more than 35 countries extensively with her boyfriend Kyle Hunter. Taking to her page Haylsa, the seasoned globetrotter offered a glimpse into what she usually packs inside her suitcase for overseas trips and how she keeps all her clothing wrinkle-free every time. 

A man got his head stuck in a bin when he decided to take a look inside. Hilarious footage posted online shows the man try to hide his face on Kilmarnoch road, Glasgow, as he's wedged in the garbage container marked 'litter and dog waste'. The recorder, who was on his way to the pub at the time, is heard saying 'Are you alright ma man? You've got your head stuck in a bin!'

Smart was inspired to unite the women after Jayme escaped captivity in January. Jayme was abducted by Jake Patterson, 21, who murdered her parents and then held her in the basement of his secluded cabin for 88 days. As a fellow survivor, Smart wanted to help Jayme heal after her horrific ordeal. She brought together survivors Gina DeJesus, Katie Beers, Alicia Kozakiewicz, Sarah Maynard, Kara Robinson, and Denise Huskins for her historic roundtable. The women discussed whether they had forgiven their captors, as well as how to deal with self-blame. They also looked at their old missing posters and gave Jayme advice on how to heal.

The unbelievable blunder has cracked-up social media users, with many poking fun at the motorist for not spotting the blindingly obvious post which was jutting from the floor of a near-empty car park. It is not known where this gaffe happened, but in the background cars can be seen driving on the right hand side of the road, suggesting it was not in Britain. Commenting on the motorist's reaction, broadcaster Jeremy Vine tweeted: 'I swear this driver actually toys with the idea of blaming the lamppost for suddenly appearing.'

Jean Dean, 60, (pictured left) spent five nights in her garden on the Channel Islands capturing images of the star cluster (right), which is located 5,000 light-years away from Earth in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way. She sent it off to NASA's Astronomy Picture Of The Day competition but didn't think anything would come of it. So Mrs Dean was astounded when she was told she had won the April 12 prize, saying: 'As an amateur, to have an image picked for an APOD is a great honour and it was a marvellous surprise.' The Rosette Nebula is a cloud of dust containing enough gas to create around 10,000 stars - similar to the sun.

Stomach-churning footage shows the snake thrashing about on the floor as it slowly throws up the feathered creature after swallowing it in a garden in Chonburi, Thailand, last week. Feet first, the bird is squeezed out of the reptile's jaws but, to the dismay of farmer Khun Kittisak who had called in the snake catchers, his rooster was dead. Handling an snake straight after it has eaten, like the two catchers do, is a technique of getting the animal to throw up its food.

The animal's 30-minute rampage is quickly stopped when officers shoot a tranquilliser dart into its hide. Spanich Civil Guards had tracked the bull to the municipality of Galapagar, near Madrid, after it escaped from a farm in the neighboring Collado Villalba district. It smacks into the side of the patrol vehicle with its horns and shoves the car several inches along the ground. Fortunately, it was returned to its owner with the help of Environmental Protection Service officers without suffering any injuries.

Little Emily, 2, was overcome with emotion when she came face-face with Stitch, who appeared in Disney's Lilo & Stitch film in 2002 at Disneyland in California. When the youngster tumbled over, Stitch fell in exactly the same way and then rolled over. Stitch's sweet actions appeared to stem Emily's tears and the little girl got up and walked up to her hero as he lay on the ground. He then got to his knees and gave Emily a hug before placing a flower bracelet on her wrist.

Viewers were left outraged after witnessing two British parents arguing about their chld right in front of him in a new TV show where ex-partners move in together with one of their new love interests. In the show, single mother Laura (right), 33, argues with former partner Cyren (left) in front of their son Leo (top inset). Viewers said they 'felt sorry for the child' as the two parents tore strips out of each other, especially when it came to the cost of raising Leo, right in front of his eyes.
